About this event

The past few months have brought a transatlantic polarization of attitudes and practices relating to ESG investing. For global investors, this potential divergence between the trajectory of the U.S. and European asset management sectors produces challenges.

In the latest Market Review, we look at both Europe and the U.S. and consider: How Compatible Are Active Equity Funds with ESG Needs? A Closer Look at European vs. US. strategies.

Under scrutiny:

• The proportion of stocks that would be excluded from European versus U.S. active equity funds if subjected to a PAB screen.
• The carbon footprint of European versus U.S. active equity funds.
• Ongoing changes (particularly in the U.S.), including adjustments at corporate level, that require attention.
